PIII 1.0 vs. Cel2.0

hey, looking to upgrade cpu and mo bo and found a good deal on a celeron 2.0 and board. Currently have a pentium 3 1.0 with 768mb ram, and i do alot of video encoding, and dvd/ cd burning, would it benefit me at all to upgrade my cpu?
 
It would make a difference, but the memory will drop since it's 168 pins. And the Celeron has no cache so it will be a little slower than a p4, but think it's a good idea. :cool:
 
Pentium4s dont fit in Pentium3 mobos so unless theres a completley new system, not really :)
 
Well, I thought he said he was gonna get himself a new mobo?

Now, if you were to read his original post you would of realized this.

Hahah.

Sorry if i missed something for once, i was slightly distracted my the snobbish attitude to your other post.
 
Snobbish attitude? You know what? You are the snob here. I merely said I was more open minded then you were trying to paint me out to be. And crap, I have to be open minded. That's the way I am. If you were ever to meet me you would realize that.
 
Damn you're a hostile one.

Are you sure you can't upgrade to a better P4? Celeron really... really... stinks...

FYI not everyone's well-off enough to be able to afford better.
 
I'm not well off enough to afford $300 CPUs either.. but I know where you can buy them cheap... I have about oh $12,000 USD in college debts.

You're the one who is being hostile.

That comment is bit closeminded. Celerons, for most everyday people, work just fine. I build a computer using a Celeron with the intent of spending very little money and that computer works great. For some applications, such as running some of my Fortran programs, it works almost as well as my P4 system.
 
Read this thread over from start to stop. So i missed something ... whoopee... people miss stuff all the time .... was post #6 really needed? Hence ... hostile.

ooooh Fortran ... long time no hear :D

Okay.. well maybe a Celeron D is fine... but I wouldn't go with the previous generation of Celerons. A Sempron is also a good idea for everyday users. That's what I recommend my friends who are on budget (either that or Celeron D).

Indeed, I also heard something about mobile Semperons and 64bit support although i dont trust MaximumPC ... of course to go from Pentium3 even to P4-Celeron is still a nice jump :D

Well the Sempron might be the best option for one on a budget. But if the decision is made to go to Celeron, for goodness sakes, make sure it is Celeron D.. because even a change from P3 to a regular Celeron won't really produce much in the way of performance jumps.

Also I'm not incoherent. ;)

If im not mistaken, Celerons are [officially] discontinued (not to mention the mobos for them are usually not that great)

Read again (i added stuff) but no matter, the issue is closed :)
 
Yes indeed hence the "official" restriction. Regarding the Semperon vs Celeron[D] issue, it might be more effective to go with the Celeron setup as it allows for a more cost effective [potential] transition to a full pentium4 which is the ideal platform for common video apps (not to mention Socket478 upgrades will outperform Socket462 upgrades).
